ChessCraftman Russian Zagreb Chess Pieces – 2.6" Handcrafted Weighted Set in Golden Rosewood & Boxwood (Pieces Only)
Step into chess history with the ChessCraftman Russian Zagreb Chessmen, a faithful reproduction of the iconic design used during the 1959 World Chess Championship in Zagreb. These handcrafted pieces combine elegant simplicity with tournament-grade functionality, making them ideal for both serious players and collectors.
Crafted from a beautiful combination of Golden Rosewood (dark pieces) and natural Boxwood (light pieces), each piece features smooth contours and rounded profiles—offering both visual appeal and comfortable handling. The knight, with its distinct profile, stands out as the centerpiece of this classic Staunton-style set.
Perfect for practical play or as a collectible, this 34-piece weighted set includes two extra queens and is suited for boards with square sizes between 1.56" and 1.76" (40mm–45mm).
